SAFETY ATTACHMENT FOR SCARF-PINS.

Specificationof Letters Patent.

Patented June '19, 1906.

' Application filed Docember 6, 1905. Serial No. 290,344.

Be it known'that I, ELIAS L. ScHREIBER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety Attachments for Scarf-Pins, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to safety attachments for scarf and similar pins, and the 0bj ect thereof is to rovide an improved device li may be conveniently connected with an ordinary scarf or similar pin without any change in the form or construction of the pin and which may be easily detached therefrom and which when secured to the pin will prevent the withdrawal thereof from a garment or other article through which the pin is passed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Fi ure 1 is a front view of a scarf-pin provide with my improved safety attachment; Fig. 2, a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1 and onan enlarged scale, and'Fig. 3 a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1 and also on an enlarged scale.

In the drawings forming part of this specification I have shown at a an ordinary scarfpin, and in the practice of my invention I- provide a safety attachment comprising a screw 1), having a large head I), provided transversely with a passa e or opening 6 through which the pin a is adapted to be passe l at one side with a rojecting member. or hub 0 in which is pre erably formed an annular groove 0, and the projecting member or hub c is provided with a recess 0*, adapted to receive the adjacent part of the head I) of the screw 6, which is beveled so as to'enter said recess, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.

, In using this device for the purpose herein specified, the pin a after being passed Mounted on the screw 6 is a nut 0, provided through a garment, scarf, or other article is the nut c is then turned on the screw 6 until the rim of the projecting member or hub presses on said pin, and this looks the attachment to the pm, as will be readily understood, and the pin cannot be pulled out of the garment, scarf, or other artlcle and will not become accidentally detached therefrom, and in order to remove the loosened or turned so t at the rim of the hub or member 0 will not press on the pin.

It is a wellsknown fact that scarf and simi' lar pins are frequently lost by becoming accidentally detached, and are also frequently stolen by being withdrawn from the scarf or other article in which they are placed, witha but the knowledge of the owner; but with my in the nut 0 must be I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A safety attachment for scarf and other ins, comprising a screw provided with a ead having transversely therethrough an opening through which the pin maybe passed,

and anut mounted on said screw and provided at one side with a projection or hub member having a recess adapted to receive a part of the head of the screw, the rim of the projection or hub member being adapted to ear on the pin, substantially as shown and 7 described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 2d day of December, 1905.
